John Carroll returns! August 5, Kemptville Street Piano

submitted by Lisa Poushinsky

Local favourite John Carroll is back for an afternoon at the Street Piano. Always entertaining, this witty gritty teller of pithy yarns will woo you with his banter while his skilled finger-style and slide guitar playing will charm and cheer you for hours! A true professional and gentleman of the genre, don’t miss this gem of a show as John combines originals with covers performed with the ol’ Carroll twist. Whether he’s playing solo for the packed house of his weekly Chateau Lafayette gig, doing some (finger) picking on Sundays at Rideau Pines Farm, or traveling to the many music houses across Canada, John's music treats his audiences to “the vibrational equivalent of coming home.”.

The Food Corner

By Paul Cormier, Salamanders of Kemptville

Salad season has its limitations. Some folks with gardens can’t get enough of the fresh green stuff; others say, “Enough, already.” There are other kinds of salads – a bit more unusual – that help perk up a Barbecue or an all fresco dinner during the hot summer days we are experiencing. You might try an old favourite of our family, the Ambrosia Fruit Salad. It’s sweet, tangy and brings a different kind of flavour to the salad bar. You can also make it in a jiffy if you keep the recipe simple and classical. This recipe makes enough for you and your family. If you are preparing for a party, just double it.

Ambrosia Fruit Salad

Ingredients

½ cup of sour cream or natural unflavoured yoghurt or more, according to your taste

½ cup sweet shredded coconut

1, 10 ounce can of mandarin oranges (drained)

1, 14 ounce can of pineapple “tid-bits” (drained)

1 ½ cup of mini plain or fruit-flavoured marshmallows

¼ cup of maraschinos cherries, cut in half

Preparation

Simply place all of the ingredients in a salad bowl and mix in the sour cream and yoghurt: that’s it, that’s all. If you want to get fancy, you can grate some lemon, lime or orange peel to dress up the surface of your salad or cut very thin slices of citrus fruit as a topping. If taking to a party, seal the top of your bowl with plastic film and keep refrigerated until you’re ready to go.
